These look like different regressions, and this may be why the results are
different (and even use different size samples, 244 obserations vs. 218).
The second regression uses the -fd- option, so everything is, I think, in
first-differences. It has one regressor, the lagged FD. It is being
instrumented with the 2nd lag of the FD.
The first regression has one regressor, the lagged FD. It is being
instrumented with the 2nd lag of the LEVEL.
If you re-do the first regression but use the 2nd lag of the FD as the
(excluded) instrument, i.e., d.lsrt2, you might get the same results.
